Heh... I sometimes can't remember what I had for dinner last night but I remembered this. Strange how the mind works... or sometimes doesn't.

--Jeff Moden

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

I have worked with all versions since that time, primarily as a production DBA at all sizes of companies. During my career I became interested in writing in 1999, authoring articles in a few publications before founding SQLServerCentral.com with Andy Warren and MVP Brian Knight.

In that profile, it's not worth mentioning that there were 6, then 3 left.
